3 Cost Effective Ways to Solve Metro Manila's Traffic Problem

Image
The Facebook page of ANC 24/7 is asking for its reader's suggestion on how to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem. This got me thinking, "what is the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem?" It's easy to make suggestions, what's hard is the implementation and the cost of implementation. So what is the the best way to solve Metro Manila's traffic problem and the most cost effective solution? Punitive Fines Add caption First of all, any implementation will definitely cost money, a lot of money. The cause of the traffic mess is the people themselves so it's only right that those causing the traffic problem should be fined and the fine should hurt. That way, the fines will pay for the cost of enforcing the law. The fines should start at P500 and goes up every week if you don't pay it within 15 days. To enforce this and prevent people from ignoring the fine. It will be tied to their driver's license or car registr...

Facebook Status Turns Black

In protest to the new Cybercrime Law that will take effect tomorrow, people are calling for the blackout of their profile photos to protest the bill. Here's a sample. Some have called for their status to be blacked out as well. Like this. ██████ ██████ ██ █████ ██████ ██████ █████████ ███████ █████ ██████████████ █████ ███████ ██████████████ ██████████ ███████ █████. [STATUS BLOCKED] (ʀᴀ ɴᴏ. 10175) this is how our status and comments will look like tomorrow once the cybercrime law takes effect... This law is affecting everyone online. Here is the person everyone is blaming for the insertion of libel in the Cybercrime Bill. And here are the others who supported the bill. Here's the real problem with the new Cybercrime Bill according to TG Guingona . So starting tomorrow, either stand up or watch out what you say online. I can and will be used against you in the court of law.

Cybercrime Law Goes Into Effect Oct 3, 2012

From We Support Anonymous Philipppines . FB 'likes', shares could be grounds for libel, says Sen. Guingona MANILA, Philippines - Sharing content, or even just clicking the 'Like' button on Facebook, may be grounds for libel under the recently enacted Cybercrime Prevention Act. But Senator Teofisto Guingona III said Thursday the law is so broad and vague it isn't clear who can or should be sued. “The law is very broad,” Guingona, who opposes the new law, said. “If you click like, you can be sued, and if you share, and continuously re-share information, you can also be sued. Saka sino ang liable? Hindi klaro eh. ‘Yung original na nag-post? ‘Yung nag-share? ‘Yung nag-tweet? Kahit nga ikaw, mag-post ka ng simpleng ‘hehehe’ di ba? Ibig sabihin nu’n, sangayon ka (And who is liable? It isn’t clear. The one who made the original post? The ones who share? The ones who tweet. Even you, if you post a simple, ‘hehehe,’ right? Does that mean you agree)? Are you liable? So...

PNP FB Admin First to Abuse Cybercrime Law

You know that Cybercrime Law that was just passed? Well, here it is in practice. It's not even in effect yet but the PNP is already investigating someone who made a negative comment on the PNP's Facebook page. From FilipinoFreeThinkers.org The Cybercrime law hadn’t even taken effect, but that didn’t stop the Philippine National Police (PNP) from abusing it. At least that’s what the admin of their Facebook page did when they encountered an unwelcome comment. The comment was a response to PNP’s post about criminology students doing poorly in English. Here’s a screenshot just in case they delete the comment, too: I say “too” because right now these are the only comments I can read out of the ones included in a screenshot that is spreading all over Facebook. Here it is, just in case they get Facebook to take it down as well: As several commenters have pointed out, the law doesn’t take effect till Wednesday, October 3. Yet the “CIDG Anti Transnational Crime is now condu...
